Maclaren introduces the ultra-light Mark II

Here in New England, it’s still chilly most days, but the signs of spring are peeping through. The first daffodils, irises, and tulips sprouts are cautiously nosing their way out of the earth; fluffed-up robins are browsing the local lawns; and adorable tykes are venturing out on the city sidewalks with their scooters and tricycles.

And while the whole beautiful panorama of strollers has been evident all winter on the streets of Boston (aided by rain and wind covers and footmuffs), their numbers are increasing as the ice melts and the sidewalks become easier to stroll. But while clearer sidewalks make it easier to introduce your child to the wonders of the city, there’s still a physical challenge implicit in every trip out of the house. There’s a lot of stuff to haul in your diaper bag. And there’s no simple way to get a child and a stroller and a bag and yourself into a car, onto a subway train, or onto a bus.

The designers at Maclaren cut out the poundage using a clever hexagonal chassis design, which provides better structural integrity with less weight. High-quality materials (aircraft-grade aluminum and high-strength woven ripstop fabrics) make this a surprisingly tough stroller for its weight – it can hold kids weighing up to 33 pounds. Combined with the usual simple and compact umbrella fold and a handy carry handle, this stroller is made to travel light!

The Maclaren Mark II Stroller also features:

Four-wheel suspension that keeps kids comfortable even as you maneuver over bumpy roads and sidewalk cracks;

A huge UPF 50+ sun hood with a mesh peek-a-boo window and an extendable sun visor;

A spacious, easy-to-access under-seat basket;

Breathable mesh center panel seating;

An ergonomic linked cable brake system;

Anti-microbial handles; and more!

Whether you’re celebrating the end of a long winter of polar vortexes (ugh!) or have been enjoying year-round sunshine (we’re jealous), you can place your order for the Maclaren Mark II at Magic Beans – Massachusetts and Connecticut customers will see this stroller in our stores starting around May, and you can get it no matter where you are on mbeans.com!

The comparison videos done between products - like UPPAbaby Vista vs Nuna Demi Grow - were exactly what I was looking for and helped me make an informed decision and investment.

Best place ever to shop for strollers and baby carriers! The staff is knowledgeable and warm. I spent over an hour here to learning about strollers, car seats, baby wraps, etc. I placed an order and the stroller arrived very quickly. A must stop for baby equipment.

I'm never one to write reviews but Magic Beans has to be the MOST helpful of all things baby! As a first time mom due soon, a lot of baby gear can get overwhelming and confusing. They take all of that out of the equation and focus on what you really need and listen to what you are looking for in certain products and point you in the right direction.

The staff at Magic Beans is incredible!!! The most positive and helpful shopping experience for me and my expecting wife. The staff listened to our needs and explained different options for strollers, car seats, cribs, bassinets, and just about everything else we would eventually need as new parents. Helpful beyond measure! No other stores offer this level of assistance, attention, and support. I recommend this be a priority starting point for all soon-to-be-parents!!!

Great service through online chat and over the phone. And the online videos are SUPER helpful. Love this place!

Before purchasing I received in store, online, and FB messaging information. The staff is so helpful and informative.

I found Magic Beans while researching strollers on YouTube. The videos were extremely helpful so I thought I would purchase from the store. My stroller was received in record time. I decided on the UPPAbaby Minu because of the description on the videos and it is exactly what I was looking for. I am extremely pleased and will happily recommend. Thank you! The videos were also fun to watch.
